SOUTH ABINGTON TWP. - Township police are cautioning residents to be on the lookout for callers scamming people out of money.
A South Abington Twp. man got a call Saturday from a man claiming to be from the Publishers Clearing House telling him he'd won a $500,000 check, $75,000 in cash and a new car. The caller then asked him to send $350 via a Green Dot Moneypak card to cover IRS taxes, police said.
Police traced the call back to Kingston, Jamaica, and are urging residents to contact authorities if they receive similar fraudulent calls.
